Between 8:47PM to 9:51PM, a predicted thunderstorm (forecasted 6 hours in advance) moved into Cheyenne from the south with a continuous display of lightning. While I only received 0.11 inch of rain, areas in northern Colorado received between 1 and 2 inches.
Initially, there was lots of cloud to ground lightning (CG) as twilight faded. Then the lightning dominated with strobe-like in cloud discharges.
This image captured a nice series of bright CG bolts over the city of Cheyenne. Using a Fujifilm X-T5, 16-55mm f/2.8 lens, I was able to zoom in on the action over the Cheyenne Ridge (bordering between Colorado and Wyoming) about 15 miles away.

I love the song "Lampo" by Gianmaria Testa but Lampo means lightning and I don't have any photos of it. But the other day I found this lightning road and hope it fits to the song. Here is a bit in Italian and a bit in English via translation software.
"però la vita é subito
tu mi dici così
si ma la vita é subito
il tempo, soltanto il tempo
di una fotografia
il lampo che abbaglia negli occhi
e non ci vedi più "
"However, life is just this moment
so you say to me
but it is just here and now-
time, only time;
a photo
the lightning flash that dazzles the eyes
and we do not see "
Listen to the song please.
This is a stack of 16 individual frames taken from the central Texas area within 5 minutes of each other, during the evening of May 16, 2025. The storm was moving from West to East. Highly electrified storms moved through the area, and I wanted to show the amount of lightning these storms produced.

Put my camera at my window on interval shooting mode since lightning started just after the sun had set. Until the night sky had totally calmed down at about 9pm, I checked my playback. Here is the only ONE out of the over three hundred photographs in my memory card that stood out. 😀
Lightning night on 7th Jan 2022
Lightnings are so cool! It reminds us, that whatever we do, it is nothing compared to force of nature. To capture one in the frame, that's always a lot of fun. I like the purple light that comes with it.
I don't live in an area that gets a lot of thunderstorms, and I've never really had a chance to try and photograph a lightning bolt.
Coming down the mountains in eastern Oregon on a birding trip, I hear some thunder in the distance, stop at the nearest pull-off and 1000-or-so shots later...
Got me a picture of lightning!

Oh, lightning! What a Nature’s high voltage spectacle!
The past few days, weather conditions were particularly ripe for thunderstorms and I decided to make my first attempt at lightning photography. Moreover, to see storms makes me feel good. I love to hear the thunder, watch the lightning; and, when it starts to rain, I listen to my playlist for stormy days.
Note: I should buy a camera rain cover, instead of using a plastic bag.
Watching from the beach as a severe storm passed to the north of us throwing out huge bolts of lightning. This was one of many beautiful bolts I captured.
This composite (stacked 19 frames) taken at 240 fps with a GoPro 11 shows an anvil crawler finally being grounded. Unfortunately, this was taken in moderate rains and a large raindrop partially obscured the upper right side of the image. Still, all in all a good catch.
Lucky to be at the right place at the right time and with the right hunch. Always wanted to do something like this!
Slight cheat in this one. I just missed the lightning bolt by a moment and had to use AI to try and replicate the actual lightning.
